She is currently an M.A. Candidate at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she studies the emotional attachment consumers form to pop culture and media. When she's not doing digital ethnographies and writing research papers, Taylor writes middle grade and young adult novels. She is currently an Author Mentor Match Round 5 mentee.
